You Can't Prompt the Room: The Last Skill AI Won't Replace
summary
A hackathon generates 21 ideas, 17 abandoned, 4 survived because of lacking data access, no clear business owner, or no measurable value; the four that survive run in production and distinguish production agents from demo agents. The practical tools are story mapping and a 4‑question value check (whose problem what winning looks like what would cause refusal what decision it changes) tied into VAD (Value Architecture Design) and a KPI: count features used more than twice.
